There's a lot to unpack here: (1) This entire incident resulted from the car rental company accidentally reporting the car stolen. This actually happens far more frequently than people realize, and sometimes by automated systems. It should be illegal for car rental companies to report cars stolen within a reasonable time, e.g. 5 to 7 days after its expected back, because often people extend their rentals and the rental companies' systems are so bad that they accidently report it stolen. (2) There was no way to know who was driving that car when it was pulled over. The only thing the officers knew was that the license plate popped up as "stolen" in their systems. The driver eventually shares his story of a "Black man being pulled over in OC." Perhaps if I were of similar ethnicity, I might react the same way. But, how does bringing race into a situation where it had nothing to do with the situation help anyone? It gets picked up in media as a racial thing and then just keeps perpetuating stereotypes as if they are universal. I'm glad they published this video so people can see exactly what it was. A professionally executed stop by a police officer doing their job as required when they encounter a car that their systems say is stolen. (3) Even though I'm sure we all wish this didn't happen, I'm glad that he complied with the police and that the police acted professionally and reasonably. I can't imagine what impact that would have on a person, but mistakes are going to happen, period. No way around that. This is great example of when both sides act as they should, mistakes can be dealt with quickly and easily. (4) I do think the driver should file a lawsuit, but not against the police. He should sue the car rental company. The police did their jobs as mandated and trained. The fault for all of this rests with the rental company for reporting the car stolen. For that rental company, I have no sympathy and hope the driver gets a fair settlement. Here is the story: www.ocregister.com/2024/04/21/terrified-motorist-faced-gun-wielding-oc-deputies-after-his-loaner-car-was-mistakenly-reported-stolen/
They’ve mentioned race because of the extra psychological damage being stopped by police causes. Unarmed black people don’t always survive encounters with the police - this guy almost reached for his waistband instead of his collar… others who’ve made that mistake aren’t here today. It’s an objective fact that race plays a role in how LEOs treat you. So him and his wife being terrified in this situation is reasonable. KIA should settle the lawsuit with this extra damage in mind because there’s no way they’re not at fault.
@@PoppyCorn144 I agree. It is such a white person thing to wonder why he would "bring race into it" and be fearful of being pulled over while Black. Remember the name George Floyd? Daunte Wright? Andre Hill? Manuel Ellis? Philando Castile? Gabriella Nevarez? Sandra Bland? Many, many Black people have been killed when officers escalated a simple traffic stop. The rate of being killed by police is more than twice as high for Black people than for white people. During traffic stops alone, police have killed nearly 600 people since 2017, and Black drivers account for 26 percent of these deaths despite Black people making up only 13 percent of the population.

Do not question the fear a person of color feels when faced with police training numerous weapons on them unless you are one.
Wow, such a traumatic video.. the dude is just trying to get a pay day, give me a freaking break dude, happy he’s no longer a personal trainer we don’t need weak men like that training people
So if a company loaned you a car to use while they were working on yours and then reported(Falsely) that the vehicle was stolen and got you stopped and arrested at gunpoint (They lied about him being armed and dangerous) would you be pissed and have a right to sue the people who lied to the police?
@@terryrayc I’d absolutely be pissed and would sue, but don’t play this bullshit victim game of oh now I’m so afraid of the police and afraid to go to work
this should never happen
I cant believe they have a dedicated unit to find stolen Kia's, yet so much other stuff happens that they cant do shit about.

@@scottg247 Hope you will end in jail for a very long time.
@@georgesilva6165 Thanks for providing the facts others couldn't seem to do.
@@scottg247 maybe you shouldn't have lost the contract or filed a false police report, oh well, now you're getting sued
So y'all didn't confirm if the vehicle was stolen you just assumed the dealer correct? Does the Dept deserve a lawsuit?
